I am correct. You said you MUST lower compression to run boost which is a truly ignorant statement. Hundreds upon hundreds run boost on bone stock engines with ZERO issues. You're using the old way of thinking that lower compression is a must for FI and that's not true and hasn't been for many many years. I remember 15-20 years ago we would build engines with 2 points lower compression because the tuning options were junk and we needed that margin for error. The engines ran like crap, no bottom end, and you had to run crazy boost levels to compensate. Then people learned to tune for the engines (well some did just not the OP's tuner) and people realized compression and boost is a good thing. The people who instantly say you MUST lower compression are stuck in the past.
If the ring gap is the limiting factor, fix it. But keep the compression.
